This horror film starts out with a motley group of comic-book monsters attacking and killing some San Francisco teens. One of the teens, Nathalie (Leilani Sarelle) escapes and recruits her boyfriend Steven (Allan Hayes), and Paula (Donna Locke), a student with a video camera, to help her conquer the monsters, since she figures that no one else is going to believe her. Fortunately for this trio and the others, including the cops who eventually team up with them, the monsters cannot survive being squirted by water. So the big battle shapes up with an arsenal of water pistols in the hands of kids and the police, as they fight against these unexplained forces. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
